Ģ����Ƶ

Thank you to the parents who have already informed us that your child/children will be leaving Ģ����Ƶ at the end of the term on Friday, 26th June 2026. We would like to stress that providing adequate and timely notice is essential. Formal notice is a mandatory requirement, helps parents avoid potential financial penalties, enables the timely refund of security deposits, and allows the school to plan effectively for the upcoming term.

Please be reminded that the final deadline for submitting a formal notice of withdrawal is Sunday, 31st May 2026. Notice must be provided either by email or by a written letter addressed to Ms Manisha Bajracharya, Admissions Office.

Upon receipt of the withdrawal notice, parents will be issued a clearance form, which must be completed closer to the end of the term to finalise the withdrawal process. Parents who require school documents or references for the new school should inform Ms Manisha Bajracharya in the Admissions Office as early as possible.

Kindly note that late submission or failure to provide notice, as well as not completing the clearance process or returning school resources, may result in partial or full forfeiture of the security deposit. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering strictly to these requirements.

12th Community Conference at Ģ����Ƶ: A Celebration of Skills for a Safer and Smarter School

The 12th Community Conference at Ģ����Ƶ was a vibrant and inspiring celebration of collaboration, leadership, and shared learning, held under the theme “Skills for a Safer and Smarter School.” The event brought together approximately 80 participants, including valued community partners, schools, and organisations from both within and beyond the Kathmandu Valley.

The day was filled with energy, purpose, and meaningful engagement from start to finish. A standout highlight was the exceptional leadership demonstrated by our primary student leaders. With confidence, creativity, and enthusiasm, they led a series of engaging activities for students from four different community organisations. Their ability to connect, guide, and inspire others truly reflected the spirit of the conference and the importance of empowering young leaders.

Delegates also participated in a range of insightful workshops, which provided rich opportunities for professional learning, collaboration, and reflection. These sessions were highly appreciated for their practical relevance and interactive nature, allowing participants to deepen their understanding of key educational and community-focused practices.

The event also featured the 4th Early Years Teach Meet, hosted by Sanskriti School, which created a dynamic platform for educators to share ideas, exchange best practices, and strengthen professional networks within the Early Years community.

In addition, some of the participants took part in the First Aid training where the�� session equipped participants with essential, life-saving skills, reinforcing the conference’s focus on safety, awareness, and preparedness. We are proud to certify them through this renowned training system.

Throughout the day, the atmosphere was one of enthusiasm and collaboration. The positive spirit was reflected in the feedback from participants, who shared comments such as:

• “A truly well-organised event with meaningful learning opportunities throughout.”
• “The student leadership was inspiring and made the experience even more impactful.”
• “A valuable and engaging conference that brought our community together beautifully.”

The overwhelmingly positive responses highlighted the success of the event in achieving its aims and creating a shared space for learning and connection.

The 12th Community Conference was more than just a gathering—it was a powerful celebration of community, learning, and leadership. It showcased how students, educators, and partners can come together to build skills, share knowledge, and contribute to safer and smarter school environments.

We extend our sincere thanks to all participants, facilitators, student leaders, and partner organisations for making this event such a memorable and impactful success. We look forward to continuing this journey of collaboration and growth in the years ahead.

Primary Junior and Senior Eco Ambassadors

Last week, our Senior Primary Eco Ambassadors proudly welcomed the new Junior Eco Ambassadors by officially presenting them with their Eco Ambassador t-shirts alongside Ms Palmer. The role of an Eco Ambassador is important, as students work together to promote sustainability at Ģ����Ƶ, in our community, across Nepal, and around the world. During the afternoon, the students enjoyed getting to know each other through fun Eco Charades activities, building teamwork and sharing ideas about how to care for our planet. They are already looking forward to working together again soon for a whole-school litter pick to help keep our environment clean and green.��

Year 4 Parent Visit

In Year 4, we were very lucky to welcome Bhushan Thapa into school to talk to us about hydroelectricity. The children learned how a hydroelectric power plant works, how long it takes to build one, and many other fascinating facts about generating electricity using water. They were incredibly engaged and asked lots of thoughtful questions throughout the session. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear from a real expert and deepen our learning about renewable energy.��

Parents Forum

This week it was a pleasure to host a Parent Information Forum for our parents focusing on the Transitions and changes that our children go through as we approach the end of the academic year. It was wonderful to have such a large turn out, and we look forward to implementing some of the ideas discussed.

Little Yetis

This week, our Little Yeti’s morning was inspired by the popular story Dear Zoo and safari animals ��in honour of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. The children loved exploring a range of hands-on activities. They gave toy animals muddy baths, caught animals swimming in the water area, squished and shaped creatures in playdough, searched for animals with binoculars, and had the opportunity to craft their own giraffes.

We look forward to diving into a new adventure next week as we explore an exciting Under the Sea theme!
